A person who was seeking to register her domestic partnership was denied because records showed someone with the same name, date of birth, and mother’s maiden name was married in 2005 and was still married. The applicant appealed the denial, stating she had been widowed in 2003 and had never remarried, had never lived at the listed address, and that the place of birth was incorrect on the marriage license application.

In 2006, the prior owners of a property were found to have harassed the tenants in violation of the law and were fined. The finding of harassment was ordered to remain in effect for a minimum of three years. In the meantime, a new owner bought the property and completed legally required improvements. After the three years had passed, the new owner applied to have the 2006 harassment finding terminated. ALJ Alessandra F. Zorgniotti found the new owner in compliance with the relevant laws and granted their application. Matter of Triad Capital, LLC (in PDF), OATH Index No. 1335/12 (Apr. 13, 2012).
